5 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR ARTIFICIAL TURF LIKE THE 1ST DAY




Artificial grass is a great option for homeowners who have lawns that cannot grow or sustain real grass, or those who want an attractive yard without performing heavy maintenance.

You may have heard that artificial grass is completely maintenance-free. However, this is unfortunately not entirely true.

Even though artificial grass maintenance is not as intensive as caring for natural grass, you’ll still need to take responsible steps to ensure you properly maintain your lawn. Here are a few tips to to maintain the quality look and feel of your artificial turf.


Brush Regularly

It is recommended to brush the grass regularly, in order to keep it in the best possible condition. Brushing the grass will keep the fibers upright for a longer time, enhancing the natural look of your lawn.

How frequently this should be carried out clearly depends on the level of usage your lawn is receiving. To brush your grass, it is recommended to use a stiff broom with synthetic bristles. Under no circumstances a brush with metal or wire bristles should be used as this will damage the fibres.


Use Right Equipments

Just because you’re installing artificial grass, doesn’t mean you won’t require any tools or equipment to keep your lawn looking lush. The use of right equipments will keep your artificial lawn looking healthy all year round. Some of the items include:

•   A leaf blower
•   A rake
•   A hose


Wash Away Debris

The frequency of performing proactive maintenance of your artificial grass lawn depends on your surrounding environment and usage of your lawn.

Rinsing the grass down with a hose can remove organic matter which has dried up and hardened, such as leaves and pollen. It is recommended in this instance just using water as it is the safest option (generic cleaning chemicals will most likely damage your lawn) and allow the grass to air dry.


Rake the Fibres

Brushing the grass frequently will keep the grass blades pointed upwards, affording your lawn a more natural look. Doing this often will also help the lawn to wear evenly and this is also a good time to search for unscrupulous weeds.

You can use a brush, as long as it has soft bristles. However, you’ll be better served using a broom or a rake; the added reach will make covering the whole yard easier and quicker.


Prevent Burns

At all times prevent fire and hot items like BBQ ashes and cigarettes from getting into direct contact with your artificial grass lawn as this will potentially cause melting of the grass. Repairing is possible but it will be slightly visible.
